Can't really get better location, close to 2 vaporetto stops, main bus station and train station. I was expecting very small room with tiny bathroom, however I was very pleasantly surprised at the size. The room was large with plenty of space and the bathroom had full bath with shower over, toilet and bidet. It was on the corner and... more

I thought the name of the hotel was quite strange, but it all made sense when we arrived. We booked this hotel because of its convenient location for a pre-cruise stay. The Canal hotel is located directly on the Grand Canal, but they have annexed a two star property called the Walter, which is located behind the Canal. Unfortunately, our... more

The Canal and Walter Hotel is located in a great location just across the grand canal from the train station, which as other reviewers have noted, its good to only carry the bags a short distance. Don't judge the hotel by its less than attractive external appearance. Its location near a couple of ferry stations is a bonus, and makes... more

I would highly recommend this charming little hotel. First and foremost, the best quality of the hotel is the fact that it is just across the canal from rail station. If anyone has been to Venice, you can't imagine how confusing the city is for newcomers and not a place you want to be dragging your luggage around lost in... more

Very charming if slightly faded Hotel with everything we needed for a short stay.Breakfast was more than adequate and it was lovely to eat it in the garden.Rooms very clean.Our room overlooked the Grand Canal with 3 large widows and a small balcony.Didn't get a discount so quite expensive but this is Venice.Just perfect for our needs,would stay there again. more

Venice is the the absolute perfect example of how the entire Italian hotel star rating system lacks any hint of credibility. I have traveled to Italy for 40 years & truly love the country, & have been to Venice dozens of times which is a crown jewel among cities. Having said that however, I long ago stopped giving any credibility... more

We stayed here for 2 nights. Easy location from bus station with the exception of having to haul luggage across steps and bridges. I found hotel staff to be very unfriendly. No lift and very difficult lugging heavy luggage up to the first floor. Rooms very dated. Bathroom is very tiny and toilet is right in front of shower so... more

After traveling for 24 hours to reach Venice I was informed that there was an electrical problem and I would have to be moved to a "very nice" sister property two doors down. I believe they overbooked the hotel and moved me for that reason as the lights, computer and security system were all working. Guests were walking in and... more
